GA attorneys must take all the required hours before the December 31 deadline. If the hours are incomplete on December 31, you can make them up during the grace period, which expires on March 31. This saves the $100 late CLE fee. If you miss the March 31 deadline, pay the $100 late fee which extends the deadline to June 30. After June 30 an additional $150 in fees are due for a total of $250 for late completion of your CLE requirement

The State Bar of Georgia charges a course fee of $5 per credit hour which is the responsibility of each attorney.

Description

Have you been hearing about implicit bias and wondering what that means and if it affects you? Do you question whether the legal profession truly upholds justice and fairness for all? Maybe you’re just wondering what all the hullabaloo is about. In any case, this CLE is for you. Together we will explore the origins of bias, define implicit and explicit bias, look at ways that bias has impacted the legal profession, and define the causes of action arising from bias.
